Student Enrolment

2025/2026 Enrolment Management Implementation Plan

Our school has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic). Approved entry criteria for our school for the 2026 school year are:

• students who live within the school zone
• students with a sibling attending the school at the same time (priority placement 1)
• students seeking enrolment on compassionate grounds, in exceptional circumstances.

Students seeking placement in all primary year levels, including for the specialist stream, must meet one of the above criteria to be eligible for enrolment.

The department will review this enrolment restriction yearly and provide updated advice as necessary for the subsequent school year.

Enrolment applications remain open for secondary-aged students who meet our specialist enrolment eligibility criteria regardless of whether they live within our school zone.

Our school zone

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined based on your permanent residential address. 

Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.

Foundation (Prep) enrolments

The Department of Education (DE) has a statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Armstrong Creek School.

You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline and procedures at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

Enrolment process and documentation

Prior to a student being enrolled at Armstrong Creek School, parents or guardians are requested to fill in an Enrolment Expression of Interest form to determine eligibility.

Once eligibility has been confirmed, prospective families will be emailed all the required enrolment documentation.

Enrolment inquiries that do not meet the enrolment criteria will also be advised via email. 
Please find below a list of all the documents required to proceed with enrolment:

• Student Enrolment Form – students commencing Prep or transferring from interstate, overseas or an independent school will need to fill out an Enrolment Form.  Students transferring from a Victorian Government School will have their enrolment data electronically transferred between schools.
• Copy of Birth Certificate
• Copy of Immunisation Certificate – official document from Australian Immunisation Centre
• Proof of Residence – utility bill, rates notice, tenancy/sales agreement
• Additional information if required. E.g. Evidence of acceptance under Program for Students with a Disability (PSD) with a primary condition of Intellectual Disability (ID) with an IQ between 50 – 70
• Any Medical Conditions. E.g. Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Allergies, etc.

For the wellbeing of your child and the convenience of the school staff, please ensure that the following information on the enrolment form is kept up-to-date:

• Home and work telephone numbers
• Address
• Family Doctor
• Emergency contact numbers

It is also necessary for parents to ensure that any custodial information is presented during enrolment.  Custody papers must be presented to the Administration Officer and the school will also need to keep a copy of this documentation – this is kept strictly confidential.  The custodial parent is asked to ensure that all necessary accurate information is given when enrolling.
